Max was sitting outside today soaking up some rays before he moves to Yarkshire on Monday. Clever dog!
I thought he looked particularly imposing and I couldn't resist this photo.

About Me
- Alex
- Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother. The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest. Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog. By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around. This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.

Handsome devil! Love the pointy ears. Is he vulcan?
Way back when we first got him they used to cut the ears as a matter of course. They had done it before we went to chose him and could say anything.
Having said that I now really like the look and it makes him look quite impressive.
Soon after we got him they enacted laws stating that breeders couldn't show their dogs if the ears were cut. A typical fudge but at least it stopped the practice.
Good to have you back in the 'real' world.
It's kind of the same with Old English now. Apparently you are not allowed to remove the tail anymore. I understand the reasoning but to me OES shouldn't have a tail... and no tail means no damage due to a fast moving tail inside the house!
